I respectfully disagree; armed with basic instructions and a diy
background, many people are capable of the installation. It's
not an inherently dangerous task unless one tries to do things
without basic knowledge/instructions.
Been there, done that; three times.

I'm sorry. Didn't the OP say he couldn't understand the instructions?
And hanging a garage door is "inherently dangerous" both during the
installation and afterward.

The OP appears to already have the door installed and is just adding the
opener. Putting in an opener is not (IMO) "inherently dangerous."

The fact that the OP does have a problem understanding the instructions
is an indication that he may not be up to the job, but that is greatly
overweighed by the fact that he has recognized that fact and is asking for
additional information BEFORE he begins. I would rate his abilities very
high do to his recognition of his limits.


Go ahead and install it even if you can't comprehend the instructions?

Yeah. Right.
